What are the psychological and emotional traumas on children when their parents split? Is the fear of this enough to remain in an abusive or emotionally deprived or unloved relationship?

Are you advised to not have sex after a transfer for a period of time?

Hey mommas, my ex broke up with me and stopped communicating with me 3 months ago. We have two sons an 18 month old and 4 month old but neither have passports. I’m looking to do them tomorrow but because my ex is on both their certificates how does that all work? I’ve been told both parents need to sign. I have tr...

Hi my brother and sister-in-law just found out that their baby isn’t making enough amniotic fluid and they don’t know if his kidneys work so they are having him born at 24 weeks. I just wanted to know what you would have wanted people to do for you when your baby was born early. I want to help them but would rath...

Sometimes I think I made the wrong decision in keeping my child. He's too much and I can't handle him. I don't feel that way all the time, but when I do, it's bad. Then I feel guilty and the guilt on top of the fact that I already hated my life makes me want to end it.

Tomorrow is the big day. I have my beta for my 4th FET. The first two were failures and 3rd was a chemical. I tested starting on day 5 and it was negative through day 8. Today is day 9 and I didn’t test because I had my sad day yesterday. I am trying to hold on to hope, but it is so hard. I have done medicated and...

What does it say if you don’t have father on the birth certificate? Does it say father unknown? The father of my child is refusing to go on there, he is refusing to come to appointments and I can’t register his name without him present, anyone have any experience of this?

My daughter is 8 years old and recently lost her grandad; They were extremely close, best mates and she’s so broken he’s gone. I’d never usually second guess this decision but I want to give her the decision on whether she’d like to come to his funeral. Is this acceptable 💔

How many days from cycle day 1 until transfer? Also is there anything you did to ensure the lining was thick enough? Thanks

My friend is pregnant and is willing to let me adopt their baby … what are the rules that I need to know or the process I should follow ? We live in different states btw so how does that work too

Can we talk about generational traumas and the ones we hope to break with our children!

Anyone else not had their child benefits payment?

How many follicles should you aim for before egg collection? It’s my first round of IVF and I’m due to have my first collection soon, but my follicle count looked low still. I know everyone is different but I’d love to hear how many good size follicles people had before going into collection?

By my own toddlers 🤦🏻‍♀️ of course the ovulation window days are the ones my kids have a slight temp and both end up in our bed 🫠🫠 what chance have I got when we dont get any space from them 😭 going to have to BD as soon as they go to bed tonight 🤣

I’m 38wks and been trying to collect colostrum for a week and nothing, not even a glistening! Anyone else have this? I get induced next week so was hoping to take some into the hospital with me

So I was supposed to get my food stamps today. It says June 1, 2024 but I still haven’t gotten them. And the app and website are down due to maintenance! Ughhh has this happened to anyone else? It’s not my first month receiving them. First month receiving them was April, after I had my baby.

Yesterday was my first day of stims and I was so nervous! I’m just nervous overall for the entire process. Just trying to relax over here. I’ve read so many crazy stories about egg retrieval being super painful. 😣 I’m ready but not ready at the same time. Ugh! I just wish we all didn’t have to go thru all this.…

My baby is almost 2 months and no one in BD family has bought the baby anything. I know it’s not obligated but my friends and family have went out of the way to prepare for the baby arrival. They made sure baby had more than enough. His family didn’t even ask if we needed anything…. Should I feel some kind of way?
